I did not receive a response from the UK Government with regard to this story.

Analysis from WWF Norway has shown that, if it goes ahead, the Israeli company Delek Group will receive around £253 million from Rosebank.

Delek Group part-owns Delek Israel, a company which renewed a multi-million pound contract to supply fuel to the IDF in the West Bank.

NEW: I spoke to Scottish cyclist Logan Maclean about how he went from a near career-ending injury after getting hit by a car to winning the Scottish road race championship last month.

An incredible story and definitely one to watch in the future 🚴‍♂️

This whole idea is very whatever but even if you consider it useful the balance just seems off?

Having 12 English mayors and only the FM to represent Scotland looks like a failure to comprehend or consider our own regional tensions.

EXCLUSIVE: The Scottish Government has been provided with no detail on Labour's new "council of nations".

Keir Starmer announced the creation of the council at a meeting with English mayors on Tuesday.

Fifteen-year-old boys in Scotland have some of the highest rate of cannabis use for their age range in the world. The fact is it’s easy to get a hold of and people are using it whether it’s illegal or not.

Why, then, aren’t we talking about it?

[Ross Hunter @_Ross_Hunter]

While it’s virtually impossible to get cannabis prescribed on the NHS despite medical cannabis being legalised in 2018, prescriptions from private clinics have soared.

It’s used to treat a huge range of ailments: from epilepsy to anxiety.

[Ross Hunter @_Ross_Hunter]

The Scottish Government could also change prescribing guidelines so that medical cannabis isn’t restricted to the private sector.

Holyrood’s cross-party group on medical cannabis appears to have achieved very little in this regard.

Should Scotland be talking about legalising cannabis even if Westminster predictably refuses to allow it? 🧵

Compare the Scottish Tories commitment to LGBT+ equality within education between their 2016 manifesto and their 2021 manifesto and you'll notice the removal of a particular word: transphobia. 🧵

[Ross Hunter @_Ross_Hunter]

What's changed?

The party didn't respond to request for comment.

Yet even the most staunchly Conservative LGBT+ people must be questioning why Tories don't want their children "brainwashed" (a word used in an article shared by Gallacher) by mere mention of them in school.
